Briefly News got in contact with the beautiful Pabi to understand how she and her baby daddy navigate their co-parenting relationship.
"Commit to putting your children’s well-being ahead of any issues you may have with your ex. It takes maturity and dedication to let go of past wounds and bitterness, but it will make a difficult situation much easier. Also, encourage your children’s relationship with their new stepparent (I call them bonus mom and bonus dad). Recognize that they are not your rival or replacement, but that you are all in this together in helping raise your children. Often it is easier said than done but try your best anyway. Attitude and effort count.
"Keep lines of communication open. Effective communication is the number one most important factor in maintaining healthy relationships. If you do not keep the lines of communication open with your ex, your children will be the ones who suffer the most."
Highlighting that this relationship is about the child, not the parents, Pabi explained the negative impacts an unhealthy co-parenting relationship can have on children.
"Kids can learn from both parents equally and learn the right lessons about empathy, kindness and work ethic. Kids absorb more information subconsciously and having both (happy) parents around makes them feel empowered. It is not about us, it’s about the kids."

In related news, Briefly News reported that while you don’t have to be BFFs after a breakup or divorce, co-parents need to get it together and become a collaborative team for the sake of their child. Two parents seem to be navigating their co-parenting relationship quite well if a recent post is anything to go by.
Twitter user @Lush_Beauty1 recently shared a screenshot of a conversation between two parents who were discussing how they would share the responsibilities of getting their child's school supplies before schools reopen.
In the chat, one parent can be seen asking the other what they would be buying between uniform and stationery so that they can plan their budget. The other parent answers that they’ll take care of the uniform as they believe it will be more expensive. The other, then politely thanks them and says that they will take care of the stationery this weekend before they end their conversation with cute emojis.
